Do you know the difference between camping and wilderness camping?

Before we explain, let’s start by saying that both involve spending the night outdoors and experiencing the joys of nature.

However, wilderness camping requires more survival skills and the ability to survive in the wild without the use of modern conveniences. The equipment needed for wilderness camping is also different from that required for regular camping.

For example, the type of firewood needed in wilderness camping is different from that required in a campsite. If it has rained heavily the previous day, the trees and plants will be waterlogged, making it difficult to start a fire using only a knife and flint.

The experience of sleeping in the wilderness can help you develop your imagination, judgement and survival skills, which are not easily acquired in modern society. However, it is important to recognize that wilderness camping is not always possible due to property ownership and regulations.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the landowner and obtain permission to camp. Additionally, wilderness camping also requires good communication skills with others and organizations.

If you are unable to camp in the wilderness, we recommend trying out mountain-based camping. This involves carrying your own equipment to a campsite on a mountain and spending the night in a tent. While it may not be true wilderness camping, it still provides a similar experience and opportunity to connect with nature.

So, why not embark on a journey of self-discovery and explore our beautiful mountains? Who knows, in the process, you could develop into a strong and powerful individual!
